The Acid Test uncovers how two government operations — COINTELPRO and MKUltra — ran in parallel through the 1960s, targeting the Civil Rights Movement with one hand while flooding the counterculture with LSD through the other. Drawing on declassified files, Senate testimony, and the documented murders of Black political leaders, J.M. Alexander maps how state power redirected a generation, dismantled a rising multiracial coalition, and rewrote the story of the decade. This is not conspiracy — it's the documented architecture of suppression, laid bare.
